32. “So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:‘He will not enter this city.He will not even shoot an arrow here.He will not fight against it with shields.He will not build a ramp to attack the city walls.
33. He will return to his country the same way he came.He will not enter this city,’says the Lord.
34. The Lord says, ‘I will defend and save this city.I will do this for myself and for David, my servant.’”
35. That night the angel of the Lord went out. He killed 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp. The people got up early the next morning. And they saw all the dead bodies!
36. So Sennacherib king of Assyria left. He went back to Nineveh and stayed there.
37. One day Sennacherib was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch. While he was there, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with a sword. Then they escaped to the land of Ararat. So Sennacherib’s son Esarhaddon became king of Assyria.
